Michael Turner

My name is Michael Turner, but most folks just call me Turner, my mother calls me Michael, but no one calls me Mike.  I was born and raised in Morehead City and work and reside there still today.  I am a 1996 graduate of West Carteret HS and a 2000 graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.  I began my teaching career at East Carteret HS in 2000, and coached volleyball, football, and baseball there.  I became the Head Volleyball Coach in 2003 and Head Baseball Coach in 2004 and served those roles until 2007 when I moved to West Carteret. I am currently in year 25 of coaching high school volleyball, the last 18 as the Head Coach at West Carteret HS.  I "retired" coaching baseball after being named Athletic Director in 2019 and a role I currently serve.  

I love coaching.  I love volleyball.  I love growing not only the sport of volleyball, but more importantly the young people who play it.  I am excited about the opportunity to join Carolina Vibe.  I am excited about new kids to coach.  I am excited about what I can learn from this collection of talented coaches.  

I am married to my wife of almost 22 years, Jaime, and I am the proud parent of our ECU sophomore son Brayden, and our 7th grader at MCMS Jayne Bailey.  In the free time I have I often enjoy sitting still, playing golf, and boating.  Since 2017 I have served on the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Seafood Festival.
